My spreadsheet draws from many websites. However, since this weekend, it will only draw from Yahoo and FINVIZ exclusively.

I tried the smfForceRecalculation but didn't work. I tried the IE option to retrive new page, but it always revert back to automatically. Microsoft claim it is my Antivirus software, so than I tried using Chrome and got the same Errors.

Your suggestion was one of the first things I tried after going to the IE option as suggested in the documentation.

The Microsoft Support Community suggested that my Antivirus was causing the IE to revert back to the "automatically" setting everytime I set it to the new page setting. Not knowing that all browsers uses the same engine, I thought if I changed to Chrome It would fix the problem.

They suggested but do not recommend editing the registry. Should I go with their advice?

It isn't that all browsers share the same engines, but that IE and EXCEL do -- because they are both MicroSoft products.

I've never been a fan of editing the registry. Too often, it's just asking for trouble.

Have you made sure the Antivirus software behavior can't be changed? Maybe it has a setting for how to handle "Temporary Internet Files". I would think ANY financial use of a browser would require fresh content any time you visit a web page. You would not want an old copy of data and/or prices, be it within EXCEL or within a browser.

I am suspicious of the behavior you suggest occurring everywhere EXCEPT Yahoo and FinViz.
